Apologies if this is breaking some MBB protocol ...it's time to move on to the next game...I don't know the practice schedule for this week but it will be interesting to see if there were any injuries or other changes in the lineup.  
 

We will prob never know for sure what happened to the o-line last game - was it just BC trying harder? A specific scheme that gave us trouble (and now all teams are going to try it) but I am pretty confident they will bounce back.

I believe Rick Campbell is a great coach - jason Maas not so much..Stanback is a beast and that moves on to concerns about the defense and the matchups this week...I think the oline will sort itself out and the offense overall- defense I am legit worried.  I don't think the talent is there, willie is more effective on a rotation and Laurence hasn't shown he can cover 1a or 1b level receiver yet. 
 

Right now I am thinking this game will be close, maybe a last minute FG wins or loses it.

Great roster management as usual 

Bad luck more than anything. Demskis kid takin their time, kramdi/Augodsi getting hurt a day ago...not too concerned.

We used to crow about our depth. What happened?

It's honestly not that bad...we're going into our 3rd...4th? String wrs. There's only so much depth to go around.

On defense we are fine..Rather have Darby than Kramdi anyway...Jeffcoat and Lawson will make a noticeable diff...and nice to have Cole back in...super athlete..like to see him get some rotation too..

BOLO for Augudosi ain't end of world and Mcrae will fill in fine for Demski..

Kool Did not know that - I am the opposite - US born - went to SMU and played there (not all that good but did get some games in) - Went into the Army in the late 60's did my thing in Nam and after being mustered out came to Winnipeg thinking I could play for the Bombers (a few of my SMU team members had tried out up here) - Made it through 2 days of rookie camp and gave up the ghost (I was in great shape just not fast enough). However everything has a silver lining - I met my wife (51 years and counting) - got my MBA - Moved back to Dallas and then back to Winnipeg in 1981 (and have been a season ticket holder and Bomber fan ever since) - Note I now live in Calgary (took my business there about 15 years ago) - heck I even was one of the orginal members of TotalCFL (wonder if anyone remembers that site) and of course Colin Unger's (OurBombers) site. I still have (see photo) my signed Dieter Brock Jersey!!

Cool...I was in Cali for 2 yrs then on to San Jose State in early 90's...did a yr in Missouri...then was in T.O...bounced to Winnipeg...back down to Cali...got tired off the Cali scene and working there and had some Winnipeg opportunities come about...ended back up here in 2003...but still do some work in the states and here with recruits and training getting them ready for draft and pro day workouts...

Pinawa is awesome! I did a summer science camp there in high school at the decommissioned AECL building

Really getting tired of TSN's garbage Live.  An error has occurred is pretty much all I get and I restart, flush cache, restart and the same **** over and over again.  What idiots are running their streaming service?  Oh wait Bell.  Guess that's what I get.  I'll be asking for a refund if this **** keeps up though.  

Well third time was the charm of clearing cache and now it works.  What garbage.  I'd get fired if this was the quality of the job I did, especially if people are paying for it.

For better or worse, airlifting guys in isn't the O'Shea way.

We have each of the last three trade dead line weeks. 

There might be a delay to the start of the game due to lightning in the area.

Not this trip, requires more dedicated time that we had with a defined return home time.

Yeah, the Canadian depth is so thin they didnt even bother to replace Demski on the game day roster.

With Murphy playing that leaves Schmekel as the only Canadian on the practice roster.

Yeah and Schmekel has no utility on special teams.  Be interesting to see if Murphy gets on the field for special teams.

For those PVRing the game you will want to use TSN1 as golf is running long on TSN3.

the wrestling that was on after last night game was hilarious.... well worth watching.

Well had a nice chat with Drew Woiittarsky's parents in the concourse waiting for the weather to blow over at least

We got a millionaire in our midst...looked at steaks at Costco yesterday...and moved on. 

Kickoff is now 7pm Winnipeg time.

Some one tell Milt to turn off his jacket

So the game is delayed?

Oof. Got my daughter (who is 4) all geared up for the game... Bought her a sweater and she has been excited about watching it all day.

 

Hard to explain a weather delay to her when its a clear day in Wpg. Anybody know how long a delay typically lasts?

Got to this Saskatoon bar for the game, got them to put the game on the giant projection screen, sound on......... Aaaand delayed. I gotta sit here taking shallow breaths, try to not get too much Gap in me, waiting for the next hour. Yeeesh. Can't wait to get home this week....

The tentative start time is now 7pm Winnipeg time. Players need 35 minutes to warm up so if they aren't on the field by the bottom of the hour the start time might get pushed back again.

35 minutes not 25.

Be sure to get de-loused when you cross the border.

Gonna stop at one of the boat decontamination stations just to be safe. The Gap stink is a worse invasive species than zebra mussels...

I hate golf.......
